True Knowledge

True Knowledge

  • Just because you’re reading stoic philosophy doesn’t mean the roots have fully taken hold in your mind. It’s going to take time, like all good things in your life, and for that, you need to put in some work. Maturity comes not by digesting many books but by discussing ideas and taking action.

  • Sharing these ideas and philosophy is better than keeping them to yourself. Sharing helps others, and you might get a different opinion on a subject.

  • Your knowledge is for a show if you don’t act arrogant and feel superior. Instead, accept that you don’t know everything. Understand that true wisdom is what you are and what you become, and you show it with your actions.

But that’s just my take. Share yours.
